Title: Complex Orientations and Strict Elements
Abstract: The theory of complex orientations is typically phrased in geometric language, but they are crucial to the algebraic project of understanding the category of spectra. In this talk, I give an algebraic description of complex orientations and propose a generalization thereof.
